Well Sheezus was non-existent, so no wonder this isn't doing big numbers. No big single either.

It wasn't total flop tho, it went Gold and had 3 top 10 singles.

I wouldn't count "Somewhere Only We Know" as being a regular Sheezus track. It went #1 due to a lot of other circumstances and was only included as a bonus track. Kind of like American Pie on Music. And Hard Out Here and Air Ballon didn't have any longevity on the charts. If iTunes sales were a big factor today I think even Trigger Bang would chart well for the first week.

IMHO Sheezus only coasted on the huge success of It's Not Me.

Trigger bang barely spend a day or two in top 100 on itunes, not even close to Hard out Here.
HOH was released what, week or two after SOWK? And label only let her release it if she releases that cover... So it never had proper chance

^ It‘s a shame that her most successful song in the UK will most likely always be her cover of “Somewhere Only We Know”. I think it’s one of my least favourite songs in her discography. Her version of the song is not bad or anything, but her own singles are just miles better.

Yeah it's my least favorite single too.

I don't think it will, it was big Xmas single and gets boost every Xmas now, so it will be associated with Xmas, not her signature song.
